Method and system for floating a vehicle

In a vehicle having an upper vehicle part and a lower vehicle frame, the upper vehicle part being coupled to the vehicle frame via a non-fixed connection, a system for floating the vehicle comprising:

• a primary floating device, coupled to one of the upper vehicle part and the lower vehicle frame, for floating the upper vehicle part freely separate from the lower vehicle frame;
• a plurality of sensors for sensing a plurality of road inputs;
• and
• an electronic control unit, coupled to the primary floating device and the plurality of sensors, for receiving the road inputs and generating control signals for controlling the primary floating device to minimize movement of the upper vehicle part with respect to the lower vehicle frame.
